Oregon Historical County Records Guide

Lane County Records Inventory

Mining Claim Records

1863-1979

Series documents actions filed with the county related to mineral interest
claims. Types of actions include mineral rights and royalty assignments,
mineral interest claims, lease releases, interest stipulations, corrections,
bills of sale and conveyance assignments, and location notices. Information
includes names of involved parties; action types and dates; and volume and
page numbers. The series may also include copies of claim location notices
giving descriptions and details of individual claims.

Beginning in 1952 mining claims were recorded in the deeds and records
section Microfilm Reels (Clerk and Recorder Official Filings). Most of the
indexes listed in the deeds and records research library primarily provide
access to deeds and mortgages, but also index mining claims. Deeds, mortgages,
subdivisions, mining claims, military discharges, and other records created
since circa
1972 are searchable on public access computers available in
the Deeds and Records Research
Library.
